Alexithymia, characterized by difficulties in identifying and expressing emotions, has been linked to psychological distress and poor health outcomes in chronic illnesses. However, its prevalence and impact on CF patients and their caregivers remain underexplored. This study investigates alexithymia in children with CF and their mothers, examining its association with sleep disorders and depression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This cross\u2010sectional study included 36 children with CF aged 9\u201318 years and their mothers. Emotional regulation was assessed using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS\u201020) for both groups. Sleep quality in children was evaluated by Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), and maternal depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Scale (BDS).
